    Nothing really. Maybe needed a few more outlets considering how many electronics people have these days. The rooms can be stuffy but the owner is in the process of updating everything so it’s only going to get better.

    The bed was super comfortable! Close to kings canyon. There could be a lot of negatives here but that would be unfair to the owner since they are in the process of renovating. After speaking with him and knowing what his end goal is this property has all the makings to be amazing! I’m looking forward to seeing it in the future.

    No breakfast. They are working on the property and we'll soon have a cafe. No other place in badger to eat. We grabbed something once we got in the park.

    Beautiful location. Nice room. Self check in so we never saw staff.

    Light a little dark, bed mattresses are very soft, a little noise from the neighbor room, check-in only at site after phone call, gravel down-/uphill access to the facility not applicable for street motorbikes. Location somehow in the nowhere, no street lights, better return before darkness. No facilities around 7 miles.

    Nice room incl. fan, fridge, microwave and good shower. Water from the tap is freshwater.

    Too far and the road very windy. The property needs more care. The pool area was messy and the water was green with algae. Weeds too tall.

    It was very quiet in the evening, could see the night sky well. The rooms were decent- basic and small. Wish it had some wall decorations in the rooms.

    There isnt AC in all of the rooms. They dont advertise that they have it, but I didnt even think to check that. Just make sure you are aware, I know they are working to add it.

    The location was great, very close to the national park. The Wifi worked well, which was important there. The bathroom was very nice and the bed was comfortable. There is a lot of change happening at this location and it will do nothing but get better I am sure

    Seven Circles is under new ownership and the place had not been particularly well cared for by the previous owners, so the new owners has some work to do to bring it back to top shape. I did have a friendly chat with Nick on our last day — he was super nice and he told me he has plans on how to proceed to really make this place shine. It certainly has tremendous potential, so I am happy to take his word for it and we will be looking forward to go back for another visit in a year or so to see how things have progressed.

    The bed was spacious and very comfortable, the sheets were clean and we had three great nights' sleep. The room itself was not very big, but we were mainly looking for a place to sleep as we spent most of our time out in Kings Canyon NP, so we didn't mind it. We were travelling from the Bay Area with an EV and I was a bit concerned with the lack of chargers in the vicinity, so I reached out to the owner/manager and they kindly provided us an extension cord to plug our car charger into. Just an L1, so it's very slow, but it was enough overnight during our stay to let us drive into and around the park and come back at night on Friday and Saturday. It sure would be wonderful if the owner invested in getting an L2 charger installed.

    Staff wasn't reachable in such a remote place. No real food options, bring your own. The round room in the pictures was not what we got, it was a normal motel maybe they need to list different options. Grounds need a lot of care

    Location was decent even though the road was windy.. Place was surprisingly clean given the location in the woods.Kids loved the playground and balls. Enough space for all of the things we brought.

    There was no kitchenette, but the owner helped us out with microwaveable plates, so no biggie.

    The bed was amazing, the room was also a good size. Softest towels I had during my road trip. Staff was friendly and helpful. Local dog and kitten were also friendly. New owner renovating/building the place, so it will be even better.

    The space heater provided didn’t really work to warm the room and we were freezing the first night. Different noises outside made it difficult to sleep throughout the night as well. The property is also extremely remote but was the closest available to King’s Canyon this winter. We also had no where to eat on Valentine’s Day which was a bummer- the only 2 restaurants around were closed.

    Everything was clean, the bed was comfy, and the linen was cozy. We really like the owner- he’s very kind and was attentive to our needs.

    I didnt pay attension while booking there was no TV in the room. But it was mentioned while booking.

    It was closer to the park. It is a very small town so There are no good restaurants here. Room was very clean, it had place to sleep for 4 people (including a bunk bed). Bathroom was full with all the things typical family need.

    Not really a dislike but more like tips to visitors: Avoid traveling to/from at night - can be dangerous because very dark with all the windy turns. A bit distant from food/restaurants but they definitely tell you to anticipate this.

    Close to Kings Canyon and affordable compared to the on-ground National Forest options. New management trying hard after taking over, tells you at least how to check in by calling their number once you arrive. Room was cozy and area was quiet.

    For our purpose’s, everything was fine! It will be even better when their cafe opens and they repair the pool. But, this is a work in progress and these fine people deserve your support!

    Our room was so cozy and comfortable! The bed was amazing! The best sleep I’ve had in years! Nick and family are so hospitable and very knowledgeable about the area having grown up here. They are putting their heart and soul into restoring this property and it shows! Will definitely stay here again when visiting Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park.
